Re: Conservative to Moderate , Moderate to Liberal
There's no question of him "letting me" do anything. The way you've phrased this question speaks volumes about how you percieve gender roles. Not to mention how moderate/liberal your thoughts really are ...
Well, my point was that I can wear whatever I want with a liberal guy...
What? Seriously...what are you talking about BSB? If you are fine with wearing a freaking dress, why did you make this thread? If you want to wear it - wear it. Your husband is liberal...ok, got it. Now stop trying to make excuses for him.
Your last post made no sense either...yes, people wear different outfits depending on that ocassion/event. No one disputed that in this thread. However, being asked to dress a specific way, which you yourself stated makes you uncomfortable...is not going to be perceived as "wow so liberal....much liberation". Sheesh. I don't want to offend you...but really this thread is pointless looking at all your posts..
Re: Conservative to Moderate , Moderate to Liberal
No, I have not worn dresses because that is not my style!
He is not changing my appearance... He wants me to dress up differently on special occasions.. He is liberal so you can't start making assumption about his reasoning behind this request.
Maybe he feels you need to update your look a bit?
You don't wear dresses, so you generally wear only pants/jeans? Do you dress up for him at all?

Try to look nice/feminine...he'll be fine.
He is also giving me suggestions on which style of jeans will look good on me… I think he might want to update my style…
I do love fashion! Let me try to be bit feminine front of him.

"How many people have a husband here who lets them wear whatever they want?"
"4 people out 1 million gupshup female users got the authority to wear whatever they want ...."
Hence proved that it was a look-at-me-I'm-so-dandy ploy. Or as TLK said .... Tusi dress shress chaddo, taeka vekho taeka. Someone else will have to translate taeka.
"Are you kidding me aj KAL shadi mien 2K per day ka koi kahna milta hai?… Inn paiso may toh sab ki mehndi lagti hai."
And this means OP lives in pak because Wahaan 2k ki mehndi lagti hae.
P.S someone plz tell me how to do multiple quotes in one posting (on an iPhone...incase it's different)

And btw that is still a lot of money for mehndi. I didn't think ppl would spend that much on just henna. Life1 members have had whole weddings for less.
Re: Conservative to Moderate , Moderate to Liberal
I just have one word for such men who like their wives to expose, should be called 'Beghairat'. It might be offensive to some but it's the naked truth.
Re: Conservative to Moderate , Moderate to Liberal
Yes, some desi men do think that way. My husband who was born and raised in Pakistan in a conservative family (we live in the US now)would like me to dress in revealing clothes in public. I have not dressed that way because I am not comfortable. One another friend also met a desi guy who wanted her to dress provocatively in public ( potential rishta).
Anyway coming back to your issue, it's not. Major bone of contention between us, I have offered to dress that way in private for him but he says that's no use.
QUOTE=BombShellBabe;9937583]I kind of agree with you. I was just debating whether it is about showing me off in public but the truth is that his personality is shaped this way. He wants me to dress up in special ways front of him in public so I can blend in. The part I was struggling with whether it is normal for men to think this way. From your post, I feel it is... All the Paki men I have encountered were very conservative in their thoughts so this came very unusual... I don't think he has requested me to dress up this way front of desis as they'd give me the most dirty looks even if I am fully covered... I don't know if I'd be comfortable in wearing dresses front of goras but I'd probably have to try it to find out since I do want to make him happy. I hope my personality doesn't get change in the way... His answer was that you are living in the U.S and everyone dresses up like that....

Re: Conservative to Moderate , Moderate to Liberal
BSB, after reading your posts in every thread regarding your wedding preps, I am just curious who is designing your wedding look...mehndi, nikkah, reception, valima, etc? I haven't seen a thread from you in wedding, hence asking here.

Re: Conservative to Moderate , Moderate to Liberal
OP - Where are you going for your honeymoon? Some place tropical? Will he ask you to wear a bikini? Perhaps you should check with him now what his preferences are in regards to that as well....just to ensure you two are on the same page!
